Challah Stuffed Pumpkin

Thanksgiving is approaching… and although I am not American, nor do I believe in the traditional tradition of the holiday, I do love the excuse to cook and eat like a proper thankful piglet. Last year I hosted my first Thanksgiving and I managed to make my first turkey, a home made cranberry sauce, stuffing, and a pecan pie, which although my guests apparently did not like pecans, really enjoyed. This year I will be hosting my second one and I’m already trying some recipes. I will definitely be making my Gingerbread Pumpkin Pie, some kind of stuffing, and a nice juicy turkey (I’m so much more excited about the leftovers). This is a great recipe for hosting a small dinner, or to make at home one night. You can literally substitute every ingredient, make it with rice, mushrooms, kale, whatever. I made this with what I had, so you can just use up everything on your fridge and make a delicious stuffing. The pumpkin was pre-baked with a second one that was used for puree. Try it and tell me how it goes.

Ingredients

1 sugar pumpkin

1/2 day old challah (mine was like a week old)

1 apple

1/2 cup walnuts

1/2 cup onion

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1 cup chicken/veggie broth

Rosemary

Preheat the oven to 370ºF. Cut your pumpkin in half, take the seeds off, brush with olive oil and salt, and bake for 35 minutes, until fork-tender. Chop the challah and place in a tray to lightly toast in the oven. Meanwhile, chop the onion and pecans, sauté in a hot skillet, add chopped apple, and season with some salt and pepper. Mix the challah in, add the puree, add the broth, and fill the pumpkins with the mix. Sprinkle with rosemary and season to taste. you can add some cheese in there too!
